And Joseph, 50 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: this is uh, this is a snooky territory, right, yes, 51 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: very much. H Yeah, So tell us a little bit 52 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: about give us a little bit about your background, how 53 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: old you are and and uh and what you're up to. Um, 54 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: So I'm twenty four years old. Um, I'm a University 55 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: of Miami alone. I graduated about a year ago with 56 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: the BS in computer science. And uh, I work at 57 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: a data center now for a financial company, helped manage 58 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: their servers and stuff like that. So that's cool. So 59 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 1: football is a big hobby. So how have you kind 60 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: of been involved in football from your time either in 61 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: high school to college? What things have you done inside 62 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: to the football world? So, uh, the in terms of 63 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: playing organized football. I really only ever played some intermurals 64 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: at school. I've never played organized in high school or 65 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: lower or anything like that. Just a huge hobby playing 66 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: outside with my friends. Um, I'm a die hard Eagles fan. 67 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: So I just I just love watching the sport knowing everything. 68 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out everything about it. Things like that, 69 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: who's the greatest scout in Philadelphi Eagles history? I don't 70 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: answer that. Don't answer that, I got I have feelings. 71 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: I have feelings. I have feelings. Joseph, you're not answering 72 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: that question. All right. You did your report on David Johnson, 73 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: running back for the Arizona Cardinals. Why did you pick him? So? Uh, 74 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: I felt it might be a little tough being concise, 75 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: if I were to pick um someone on the Eagle. 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: So just you know, I watched all their games, and uh, 77 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: it'd be a little tough. And uh, David Johnson, Um, 78 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: in this one fantasy league I have, actually I took him. 79 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: It's a keeper league, and I took him in like 80 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: the tenth round. So he is my keeper stud. And uh, 81 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: he's probably the most non Eagles player I've watched this year. 82 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: So it's just really fun to watch and just really enjoyable. 83 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: So when you were watching him, what were some of 84 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: the things that you were looking for when you were 85 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: scouting him for this contest? Um? Again, just uh, I 86 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: follow a bunch of you guys on Twitter, whether it's 87 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: for NFL Network or guys like Dame Brugler, fran Duffy 88 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: and things like that. Um, just reading their reports and 89 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: what they talk about. It's always about skill set, trying 90 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: to isolate skills and uh, just how they work out 91 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: on the field. So again, um, how he moves. Um. Again, 92 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: you guys had the appearance thing in there, so I 93 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: didn't try to go to and depth of that, but again, 94 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: just how he moves, how how he affects other players, 95 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: miss tackles, UM, just things like that. It was it 96 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: was a little bit, definitely proved tough being that I 97 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: don't have currently have a game pass, so I was 98 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: just watching highlights. So when it came to the weaknesses 99 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: character or I was struggling a bit. Not that not 100 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: that DJ has too many weaknesses, but he's he's pretty good. 101 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: I'll tell you one of the areas of your report 102 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: we highlighted here that that I liked, Um, did a 103 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: nice job with the way you kind of described this 104 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: one here. You said he is not shy away from contact. 105 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: He runs through arm tackles while maintaining balance, rarely gets 106 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: taggle behind a line of scrimmage, always falls forward. So 107 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: when you're writing reports, you always want to give a 108 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: visual Bucky always references the fact you want to be 109 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: able to close your eyes and be able to see 110 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: the player. With the way you wrote it, I thought 111 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: you did a nice job there of kind of describing 112 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: what he's like when he hits contact. We used the 113 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: scouting phrase you can you can have this one for 114 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: future is just contact balance, So you kind of describe 115 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: his contact balance there with the way you discussed the strengths. Gotcha, Yeah, 116 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: I'll definitely keep that turm in mind going for Yeah. 117 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: I think what DJ is talking about your ability to 118 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: paint a picture, because when I'm reading through the reading 119 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: through the report, I definitely can take what you're saying 120 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: and visualize how David Johnson plays. And I think the 121 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: big thing about being a scout, particularly when you're having 122 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: these presentations and these meetings, when you with the general 123 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: manager and coaches, is being able to give them kind 124 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: of the visual aid, so they're like, Okay, if he 125 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: comes in here, this is what he would do for 126 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: our teams. So that's very very important in terms of 127 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: being very descriptive and using solid adjective to describe the 128 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: player that you're scouting. Um all right, let me let 129 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: me let me get to you on one thing here, Joseph, 130 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: before we before we roll out of here, Bucky and I, 131 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: you know, we had an interest in scouting. Bucky was 132 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: playing and was still kind of even looking order to 133 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: the future. So tell me why you would want to 134 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: be a scout and abandoned the successful career you've already 135 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: launched for yourself. Well, um uh, it probably goes back to, Um, 136 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: I'm not as big of a gamer anymore, but I 137 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: still and I kind of love playing NBA two K, 138 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: love playing Madden more so with the trades in two K, 139 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: just because the nature of the NBA and stuff. But 140 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: just being a general manager is um I again, it 141 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: would be like a dream scenario or just being a 142 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: helped contribute to a team like that. Um I'm always 143 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: uh intrigued by how t teams are built, like what 144 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: getting certain players can do for your teams, what positions 145 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: are more important, and part of that works into UH. 146 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: I actually worked for Pro Football Focus a few years ago, 147 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: and UH I got some experience, just watched a lot 148 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: of film with that, and I don't know, Again, it 149 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: sounds a little crazy, but if I were to somehow 150 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: be able to come a scout for the Eagles and 151 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: help contribute to their first Super Bowl winever, that would 152 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: just be like you could pay you could you could 153 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: have me do that for free, like you'll take it. 154 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: Don't tell them that, I don't. Don't tell me. Um, 155 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: I love your enthusiasm. What is the one thing that 156 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: separates you from the other guys who want to be 157 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: scouts in this contest? Why should we say that you're 158 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: the guy that's going to join our team as opposed 159 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: to somebody others in this competition? UM? I would I 160 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: would go on the fact that again maybe uh going 161 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: on a Chip Kelly term here, Maybe I'm not a 162 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: football guy in the normal sense of it, But I 163 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: think that can just bring um a lot of different insight, 164 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: a lot of different viewpoints into this field. UM. The 165 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: NFL's a little archaic in some of the ways it 166 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: thinks still, whether it's analytics or just using numbers in general. 167 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: And uh, I feel with my background in UM technology 168 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: and programming that I could add something, whether it's UM 169 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: a tool to help or just a different inference on 170 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: numbers to bring to the table. Again, not that it's 171 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: the and all be all, just those numbers, but UM 172 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: definitely contributing them in the whole picture and just taking 173 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: a sort of different approach to a new approach.

Tell us a little bit about yourself 210 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: and uh it gives a little bit out of your 211 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: backstory here. Well, my name is Jaylen Moore's my background. 212 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: I'm originally from Birmingham, Alabama. UM did my undergrad here 213 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: in the University UM in marketing on During that time, 214 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: I was coaching also at a local high school it 215 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: called Central TUSCALOOSCA High School. I was coaching the wide 216 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: receivers and defensive banks. After that, decided to give my 217 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: masses in sports management, which I'm currently doing now. UM. 218 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: Got some relationships and form some relationships as far as 219 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: being connected with some of the personnel guys that work 220 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: in our staff up here, started working up here and 221 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: now recruiting the personnel staff and still currently just enjoying 222 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 1: it and uh trying to build my foundation in evaluation. 223 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,319 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. You're you're there obviously at 224 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: a chance to learn at the knee of one of 225 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: the great coaches in college football, the guy who also 226 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: has some NFL experience. What what have you learned just 227 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: during your brief time in Alabama working in the office 228 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: that you think will help you when it comes to 229 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: being a personnel evaluator. Our first and foremost the preparation, Uh, 230 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: the attention to detail, um, just the grind man, the grind, 231 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: attention to detail, the intensity, the consistency of Coach Saving 232 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: does a phenomenal job as far as UH being time, 233 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: very time oriented, very detailed, very consistent, as far as 234 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: what he wants, and as far as the demands, you know, 235 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: what they asked us to do. So just I would 236 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: just say preparation. And sometimes, you know, I think we 237 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: get caught up into the what too much instead of 238 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: the house. And I think Coach Saban does a good 239 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: job of embracing that process and embracing the house. That's 240 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: a great answer. I'll tell you what. When we're working 241 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: with teams, when Bucky, especially when I think about you 242 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: and Carolina, Bucky, and when I was in Baltimore, we 243 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: watched players in college and we talked about, Okay, this 244 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: guy looks like a raven of this guy looks like 245 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: a panther. Is a certain way that they played, a 246 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: certain style that they have. You're you're the generalman. I'm 247 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: promoting you. Now you're the general manager of a team, 248 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: you're starting a football team. What do you want in 249 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 1: a player? First, I would want competitive toughness. I want 250 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: a guy to compete because as you all know, as 251 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: you know former players, you know, it's all about competition. 252 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: It's all about, you know, wanting guys to compete. Do 253 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: they love football? Um? And then after that, obviously you know, 254 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: can they play? Can they play the game? Do they 255 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: understand the game? A lot of people get called into 256 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: athleticism and you know, combined numbers. But I'm all about 257 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: ken the guy play the game, you know, and at 258 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: the end of the day that he made plays and 259 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: can't play the game. When you did, you did a 260 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: great job on your report on Jason Verrette Bucky. When 261 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: you looked at the report here what what jumped out 262 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: at you? The thing that stood out to me is 263 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 1: your description and how descriptive you were, particularly when it 264 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: came to talking about him and man coverage and off 265 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: man coverage. You said, and off man shows a smooth 266 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: back pedal, good hip, flexibility to open up at the 267 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: top of routes, shows an elite burst out of his brakes, 268 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: and elite speed to turn and run with receivers with 269 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: good or better speed down field. Um, when we're sitting 270 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: in meetings, it's very important that you can paint a 271 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: picture for the general manager, the head coach. And I 272 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: thought you did a great job of that in that 273 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: little segment. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Why did 274 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: you pick Why did you pick Forrette to to evaluate here? 275 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: I picked the rent because, well, first of all, I'm 276 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: a big I'm a big DV guy. Um, that's I 277 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: would say that, that would be my specialty. Uh. Another 278 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: reason I people read I thought red kind of red 279 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: went under the went under the radar little bit. I 280 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't don't really know how 281 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: good he really is. You know, when I was watching 282 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: this guy, to me, man, when he's healthy, he's a 283 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: top five corner, you know, second to none. You know, 284 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,719 Speaker 1: I would I would argue with him as far as 285 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: with the two leaves, with the Chris Harris's I believe 286 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: he's right in there in that bunch of corners when 287 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about the top five in NFL. Now, he's 288 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: a he's a big time player. A great job on 289 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: the report. Now, as we transition a little bit here 290 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: looking into the future. I know you've already you've been 291 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: around the football game here for a little while. Now, Uh, 292 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: why why would you want to get into scouting? Well, 293 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: first of all, I just I love the Well, first 294 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: of all, I'm competitive, first of all, let's uh. Second 295 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: of all, I enjoy, you know, evaluating players and seeing 296 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: where guys fit, seeing where you can get the best 297 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: out of these guys, you know, and you know, just 298 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: just learning and you know, learning about these players man. 299 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: And you know, I think the best part about it 300 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: for me is just you know, just seeing what a 301 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: guy can and can't do, you know, seeing where he fits. 302 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: Where can we best utilize this guy to you know, 303 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: to be more for him to be more succelful, as 304 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: far as using his traits and using using his athletic ability, 305 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I think that's a terrific answer. 306 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: It's very similar to how I kind of thought about 307 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: the process. I was always fascinated by putting the pieces 308 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: of the puzzle together. In a very competitive industry, a 309 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: lot of aspiring scouts out there in the world. What 310 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: separates you from others that want to be scouts? I 311 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: would say, first of all, my ability to communicate a 312 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: player to the reader. I believe I have a good 313 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: grasp and I'm very confident as far as my writing skills. 314 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: I think that's a very underrated aspect when you know 315 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about getting into those jury level positions. Um. 316 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: I want to give a big shout out to the 317 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: Scouting Academy which I was a part of, which helped 318 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: me build that foundation that's ran by Dan Hattman I 319 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: work with. I worked with in Philly. Yeah, Dan is 320 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: a very good friend. Amount Dan really helped me home 321 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: my skills as far as my writing skills and being 322 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: able to you know, being able to communicate, you know 323 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: when you're writing, as far as the format of the 324 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: report and just you know, to layout and you know, 325 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: putting the right words together to make it, you know, 326 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: paint that picture that you wanted Bucky talked about earlier.

What would you 357 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: What would the best advice be from you guys to 358 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: a guy who once he gets into that entry level 359 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: spot and building that foundation. I always look. One of 360 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: the best piece of advice I got Buckey when I 361 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: got in is you're always building your bank of players, 362 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: and that's gonna make it easier to evaluate. The more 363 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: players you have evaluated over time, you're gonna be able 364 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: to see who hit, who missed, and you're gonna know 365 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: what you're looking for. The best advice I got in 366 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: when I get in there. Every free moment I had 367 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: when I wasn't doing a sign duties, I would go 368 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: try and watch Okay, we're the best ten linebackers in 369 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: the league, and I'd go study them. Okay, what makes 370 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: them so good? And if I another free time, I 371 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: go watch the best ten quarterbacks and what are they 372 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: doing that makes them good? That was the best advice 373 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: I got. Yes, what dj Is pointed to is you 374 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: want to try and understand what the prototypes at the 375 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: position are because if you understand the guys that are 376 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: playing well, you now know what it takes to play 377 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: in the league. I would always study the guys that 378 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: were the Pro Bowl players, are the All Pros, because 379 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: those are the marquee players, the Blue Chippers. I wanted 380 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: to see what traits they had, and so when I'm 381 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: looking at college guys, if I see guys with similar traits, 382 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: I now have an understanding of how they may have 383 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: to play the game to be successful in the league. 384 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: All right, we got another interview coming up, so we 385 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: get a quick one, give me one more quick question here? 386 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: What do you got? Uh? Could you give me just 387 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: another pointer on as far as our reports and as 388 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: far as when you're communicating those reports to a GM 389 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: or two an assistant GM or directed personnel, hit him 390 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: with what you think about him right away, So if 391 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: you can think about it and doing in a one 392 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: line fashion. Uh, you talked about Jason Verrett. Jason Verrett 393 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: is an elite cornerback who excels at playing in off coverage, 394 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: has a versatile skill set, something that in that fifteen seconds, 395 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: I know exactly who he is, what he is, and 396 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: how you feel about him. That way, because a lot 397 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: of times when you have a lot of reports, you 398 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: don't have a lot of time to really go in depth. 399 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: We want to make sure that you leave him with 400 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: and TV we call it a sound bite, something that 401 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: when the general managers away and he's thinking about that player, 402 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: he can remember him based on a code word or 403 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: two that you put into report. There you go, there 404 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: you have it. Well, Jalen, Hey, it's good. It's good 405 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: to catch up with you man.

I thought, 410 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: this is kind of a little outside the box. Don't 411 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: go with this big name player. Get your little ally 412 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: mar pet in and that's what That's what Chris and 413 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: Jimo did here in his h in his report and 414 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: did a great job with it.

And Uh, I 421 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: saw this competition online that you can posted on your Twitter, 422 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: and I was thought, Hey, that's something I'm really down 423 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: to do, and I so I just kind of went 424 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: with it and sent in my report. Cool, So give 425 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: me a little bit about your football background. Did you 426 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: play in high school? Uh? Have you been just a 427 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: devoted fan? Uh? Where is the love affair with football? 428 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: What does that come in? Yeah? I started in fifth 429 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 1: grade and from there I just kind of pretty much 430 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: fell in love with football and I been playing. I 431 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: stopped in uh freshman year in high school when I stopped, 432 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: which I kind of wish I didn't, but I realized 433 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: that my side wasn't gonna take me anywhere. So I 434 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: kind of turned towards more of the evaluation point and 435 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: the scouting and wanting to get into that. And that's 436 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: what kind of where I'm at now. Well, you did. 437 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: You did a great job on your report here, Chris, Uh, 438 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: tell us why you decided to do ali? Mark pett 439 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: here not the obvious choice, right, I felt he would 440 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: have been more of a unique report and kind of 441 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: something that you guys when I have seen a lot 442 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: of because I felt that people might have sent in 443 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: like a lot of Derek carrs Zekiel Elliott's, Dak Press Scott, 444 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: So I kind of wanted to stand out and do 445 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: someone who wasn't like on the main radar for most people. Yeah, 446 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: it's it's definitely uncommon for a guy to um pick 447 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: an offensive lineman. But you really did a good job 448 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: of talking about an offensive linement. So when you're looking 449 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 1: at a player, what are some of the traits or 450 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: things that you're looking for when you're scouting. Well, I 451 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: think athletic ability is a big one in the NFL. Uh. 452 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: Some mental processing and awareness, I think that's the other one. 453 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: It's kind of a big especially for a lineman. You 454 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: have to be able to read and recognize different stunts 455 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: and twists they're coming at you. Well, you did, You 456 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: did a really good job. One part of your report here, 457 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: I want to pull this up here, um that I 458 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: highlighted when I was going through it, and Bucket, I 459 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: know this. This caught your attention when we talked about 460 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: it as well. Here just talked about the guy Mark 461 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: Pett having a good anchor, digs and s heels into 462 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: the ground, stays balanced with a a good base and technique, 463 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: not allowing himself to get pushed uh into the quarterback. 464 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: So we always talked about making a good visual. You 465 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: want to be able to close your eyes and see 466 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: the player. I thought you did a very nice job 467 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: of describing what you saw. Their nice work, Chris, Now, 468 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: it was actually excellence. One of those things that when 469 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: you're in meetings and you're presenting your case to the 470 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: general manager, the head coach, being able to vividly describe 471 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: what this player is at this point in what he 472 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: could be is very very important. But what's important to 473 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: me for you is why do you want to be 474 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: a scout? What's important for you to be able to 475 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: work with the team and evaluate and help them build 476 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: a championship contender. Yeah, that's it. I want to be 477 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: able to be part of a team. And I'd like, 478 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, I missed that part of the football, not 479 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: being a part of the team and winning championships, and 480 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: that's something I really look forward to doing. Why as 481 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: we get to the to the final five here, Chris, 482 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: you gotta try and separate yourself from the pack. Now 483 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: we've got five guys in. Only the top two were 484 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: gonna be the winners here. So what do you think 485 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: that that may differentiate yourself from the rest of the 486 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: candidates here? Right? I think my passion for football is 487 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: something that will really separate me, and it really can 488 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: come out in my reports when I write them, and 489 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: just the love I have for the game and how 490 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: much I want to be a scout and this is 491 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: something I really look forward to doing for the rest 492 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: of my life. And I think that's gonna show up 493 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: when I write my reports. It's a good answer. There's 494 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: the last question I've got for you, maybe the most 495 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: important question of all, and that's um, in a couple 496 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: of years, North Carolina and Appalachian State with three game 497 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: series here, Okay, Chris, I need to know who wins. 498 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: Who was gonna win them two out of three?

Yeah, well in thirty two, um, and I 531 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: work for a small business and there's some sales and 532 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: marketing with them. Uh, A wife and two kids and 533 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: one on the way, So a little busy. But um, 534 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: I think that's pretty much everybody right where Where is home? 535 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,239 Speaker 1: Where are you living? If I live in Rockville, Indiana? Uh, 536 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: and that is like straight over from Indianapolis on the 537 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: state line with Illinois, so kind of the middle of nowhere. Okay, Well, 538 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: how about a little bit about your football background? Did 539 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: you play in high school? Beyond anything like where does 540 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: the love affair kind of stump? Honestly, I'm not really 541 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: sure I did. I played a year in high school 542 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: and it was a pretty poor showing. Um. I'm I'm 543 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: five eight and I was about one fifty in high school, 544 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: and I did not have the necessary physical skills to 545 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: overcome my size. Um, so it won a lot of 546 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: a lot of football back around there. But I really 547 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: enjoy watching the game, and uh I watched it with 548 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: dad for some reason, he's a he's a Raiders fan. Um, 549 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: he's born and raised in Indiana, so I don't know 550 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: where that comes from. But so you know, I'm a 551 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: Colts fan myself and have been just just an enjoyer 552 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: of football for for many years, and then over the 553 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: last probably you know, five or six, really kind of 554 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: deep dived in listening to you guys, listening to the 555 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: around the NFL. Guys. Um, we're not gonna hold that 556 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: against you. We can, we can, we'll edit, we'll edit that, 557 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: we'll edit the toaster podcast out and we'll just leave 558 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: that out. And that didn't happen, Chris. We're just gonna 559 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: pretend like you didn't say it. Well, guys, gotta make 560 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: some toast right there. There you go, there there, I'll 561 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: teach you that. Now did a nice job with that. Um, 562 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: why did you choose I know you're obviously they're in Indiana, 563 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: but y t Y Hilton. Uh, well he's a guy 564 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: that I have watched all of his NFL games and 565 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: he's in an he's kind of an unusual player because 566 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: he is definitely the Colts number one, but he doesn't 567 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: really line up to this energy that you look at with, 568 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: you know, when you guys talk about number one receivers. 569 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: He doesn't have all of those, uh those traits. And 570 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: I really like him. He's fun to watch, and I 571 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: think he does require game planning against him, but he 572 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: just doesn't necessarily check all the boxes. He's not going 573 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: to dominate in those situations where you really want somebody 574 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: like an Odell Beckham to you know, to go in 575 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,959 Speaker 1: and dominate the game or um or really change, you know, 576 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: against the elite secondaries. He's not not necessarily the game 577 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: changer that you would hope for in the number one. 578 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: So I thought that was an interesting, you know, type 579 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: of guy to look at because he is in that 580 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: category where he's a little bit unique. So yeah, I 581 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: think he definitely is a unique player. And I think 582 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: when we look at your report, there were some things 583 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: that you pointed out in terms of his traits that 584 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: do kind of make them a little different than some others. 585 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: And so when we looked at the graphic, the thing 586 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: that stood out to me every reports this was in 587 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: your weaknesses section. You got to talk about it in 588 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: the red zone not a major red zone threat. His 589 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: reliance on winning the route and using the speed to 590 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: create space means he often struggles to make plays where 591 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 1: there's less room to work with. And I think that's 592 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: really um important to kind of point that out because 593 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: as a speed receiving when the field condenses, it is different. 594 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: When you're not able to kind of blow past people. 595 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: You have to use more of your route running or 596 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: sometimes being physical. And you're able to point that out. 597 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: And I think as a general manager, as a head coach, 598 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: those are some of the things that you're looking for 599 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: from your scouts when it comes to being able to 600 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: really pigeonhole what a guy can do for your program. Sure, Chris, 601 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: what what would you do your run? Let's let's give 602 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: you a promotion here. Let's say you're a general manager, 603 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: you're running a running a football team here, Um, you 604 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: believe in philosophically here, how would you like to build 605 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: your team? You know, we've been on teams they kind 606 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: of build it up the middle. You look at what 607 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: are the premier positions you're looking for? Where would you 608 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: start if you were if you were starting to franchise 609 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: and got a chance to build your own football team. 610 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: It's a big picture question for you. Um well, I 611 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: mean at all at all, as we we kind of 612 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: know it all starts with the quarterback. But I think 613 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: sometimes guys get hung up on the skilled players to 614 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: surround a quarterback with. And you know this is speaking 615 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: as you're gonna hear a Colts fans speak right here, 616 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 1: but um, you know, it's great to surround your quarterback 617 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: with good guys. When you have a game changing quarterback, though, 618 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: you've gotta start in the trenches. Man. You gotta get 619 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: them an offensive line. You've got to get a defensive 620 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: line on the other side to get after the quarterback. Um. 621 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: You know, I think I think if you can get 622 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: those things right, and if you can get after the 623 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: quarterback and if you can protect yours, um, you can 624 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: get by. I mean, I think New England has shown 625 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: you can get by with uh with players who are 626 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: are role players and do really well. If you can 627 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 1: do those things really well, man, I like that philosophy. 628 00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: Build it. Build it's strong right up front, makes you're 629 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: able to get up to the quarterback. You can protect 630 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: your own quarterback. Make sure you have a quarterback that 631 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: can be a difference maker. Um, I think that's very 632 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 1: very important. I like your philosophy. And speaking of philosophy, 633 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: why do you want to scout? What what intrigues you 634 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: about being an evaluator at the next level? Well, um, 635 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: you know, honestly, it's it's kind of one of those 636 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: things where I like to research things. Drive my wife 637 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: crazy with it because I'll we'll go on vacation and 638 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: you know, she's got an idea she wants and here 639 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: I am ten pages in it. F like, well, here's 640 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: all the things we can do, and uh, drives are nuts. 641 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: But I'm that way with a lot of things. And 642 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said for being able 643 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: to go in and prepare as a guy who doesn't 644 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: have the football background, to go in and look at 645 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: stuff and trust kind of what your eyes are showing 646 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: you and uh, and be able to pick somebody out. 647 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: I think it'd be really cool to be able to 648 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: have a feather in your cap and say, hey, I 649 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: picked this guy out of you know, the sixth round 650 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: and he is you know, he's he's big time now. 651 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: And I you know, I think that's a neat skill set. Obviously, 652 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: it's that's not something you need every time. There's gonna 653 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 1: be some of those guys that are obvious. Um, but 654 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: I think there's something to be said and something cool 655 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: to be able to to say, yeah, I found this person, 656 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: you know. I mean the guy who's who's talking about 657 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: finding Tom Brady's feeling pretty good about himself, right, So, um, 658 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: you know those those types of things. That's a neat 659 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to do that, to be able to improve a 660 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: team from a perspective that you know you can't do everything, 661 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: but be able to contribute that way is kind of 662 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: a cool things, So very very cool.

Okay, your favorite 679 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: of the group would be who oh, it's definitely West, 680 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: not even a competition, but it's it's West and it's 681 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 1: not close. Okay, so the correct answer is none to 682 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: the above. But Wes, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna 683 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: allow that, you know, Cessler. To me, it's it's a 684 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: close competition, clearly not Rosenthal. I mean, that's a no brainer. 685 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: And I won't to even mention the other guy.

You know, in terms of of detailed schemes, 772 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: you know, I think I would want to you know, 773 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: a concept based offense. Yeah, a lot of progressions, um, 774 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 1: quick passing game, that sort of stuff, and you know, 775 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: death by a thousand cuts type of offense.

I like that. I'll start with underrated. 787 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: Uh Tampa Bay offensive guard Ali Marpett. There you go. 788 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: Why is he under why is he under What do 789 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: you like about and why is he underrated? Man? I 790 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,239 Speaker 1: haven't seen that level of play strength. You know, he 791 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: just flashes and at times he can just move people. Um, 792 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: you see him. You know two gaping guys, you know 793 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: zero check one tech guys he faces off with and 794 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: he just drives them off the ball and it's it's 795 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: really impressive. And he's got the feet to to really 796 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: develop in a somebody that can pass protect as well. Um. 797 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: I really like him a lot. I think he's one 798 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 1: of the most underrated players. You know, playing inside doesn't 799 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: really get the national headlines. Um. By the way, I'm 800 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm I'm friends with with Jason light who made that selection. 801 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,479 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna let him know that Ethan Young thinks 802 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: he's got the most underrated player in the NFL. And 803 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 1: Jason is gonna be pretty excited about that. All right, Now, 804 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,720 Speaker 1: you gotta do the ugly part. Who's overrated? Oh uh, 805 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta do it, You gotta do it somebody. 806 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: Here's my guy, here's my guy. And I'm gonna get 807 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: some flak fist. But Kirk Cousins, and I really like 808 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and those type of passers or who I 809 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 1: kind of target, the Nate Peterman types. I really like 810 00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,319 Speaker 1: him this year at a pit. But uh, those guys 811 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: are gonna be overvalued in terms of their contract, in 812 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,880 Speaker 1: my opinion, be because their value is so dependent on 813 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: the offense you're running when you're you know, a lot 814 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,920 Speaker 1: of their value is put in by the scheme. So 815 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: on the open market, you know, those guys are gonna 816 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: be if they're not in the right scheme, available for 817 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: a cheaper price. So if you're paying someone like Kirk 818 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: Cousins million dollars because a lot of that's based on 819 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: the scheme and they're putting that value in him, I 820 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: don't think. I think that's where those guys can get 821 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: overvalued kind of easily. And then someone comes in with 822 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: a new scheme and all of a sudden, you're paying 823 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 1: this guy twenty five million dollars and we sort of 824 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: lacks the elite traits and you can win with him 825 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: that there's no question he's a good player, but he's 826 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: so scheme dependent that I think that those guys can 827 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: be overvalued easily. Ethan dropping bombs here about dropping bombs. 828 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: All right, Ethan, Look, you made it to the final five, dude, 829 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: great accomplishment and congratulations on that. But now it gets 830 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: a little more difficult because we gotta get from five 831 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: to two. So you've got a chance to pick your guy. 832 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: You did. T J. Lang wrote a great report. Uh, 833 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: now we're gonna have all five of you guys right 834 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 1: the same player, So we're gonna get you offline. Once 835 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,760 Speaker 1: you finish. Your producer is gonna give you a coach. 836 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: You can have access to game pass if you don't 837 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: already through July thirty one, and you have until March 838 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: second to get three game tape studied and to get 839 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,359 Speaker 1: a report in on Baltimore Ravens safety. Eric Weddle, Are 840 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: you up to the task, my friend? All right, well 841 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: there you go, Ethan wish you the best of luckman, 842 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: get your Eric. We will report in March. Sewo, we'll 843 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: have you, we'll have you back on and we'll end 844 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: up littleness thing down and getting a couple of winners. 845 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: But heck of an accomplishment making it this far. And 846 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: we wish you the best of luck. Man, Thank you, 847 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Guys, have a good one. Well, Bucky, 848 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: this has been a fun exercise. Man. I mean just 849 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 1: you have no idea. We we just see paper, right, 850 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: we see these reports coming on paper. We picked out 851 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 1: the five that we like the best. And here in 852 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: the back stories of these guys, such different backgrounds, right, 853 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 1: this guy's it's it's amazing here in all these stories. 854 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: It's amazing the different backstories. But what did the common denominated? 855 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: There was a passion and love for football at every level, 856 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,240 Speaker 1: whether they played it all the way through high school 857 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: or in college. You saw and you could since the 858 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: passion and to have for the game. And I think 859 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,280 Speaker 1: that's very, very exciting when you're thinking on thinking about 860 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: bringing someone onto your staff to be an evaluator, and 861 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: to me, it's it brings up a great point in 862 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: the evaluation process. You have to be able to you know, 863 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: see things right, but then you have to be able 864 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: to convey what you see. So you might see everything 865 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: and you might see it more clearly than than somebody else, 866 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: but you have to be able to concisely convey that 867 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 1: that what you've seen, and that's what these five guys 868 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: a really good job of. And then you also have 869 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: to have the presentation part of you. Like we can 870 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: talk about conveying it whatever, the presentation like really selling it. 871 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: Because if I feel like you, as a scout are 872 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: really excited about this player, then I'm gonna take it 873 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: very very seriously that you show some conviction. You're gonna 874 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 1: stand on your point, You're gonna stand in defending and 875 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: convince me that this guy can be an added or 876 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: valuable piece to the team. You have to have that. 877 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: The selling part is everything when it comes to the evaluation. 878 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: But so I've got an idea here. I'm just gonna 879 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: throw this out here as we kind of get to 880 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: the end of this, uh this process. Here, we've got 881 00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: round one, right, So this is round one in the books. 882 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna get to these final five or the 883 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: final five guys gonna do their Eric Weddle reports, and 884 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: then what do you think producer our Juna about having 885 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 1: these guys. I think another aspect of scouting that's kind 886 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: of cool is when you get into the room and 887 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: you state your case to a general manager. Right, so 888 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: we have Eric Weddle as the player they're going to evaluate. 889 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: I think we should have these guys come on. They 890 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: don't need us, but just come on and do like 891 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: a little thirty second uh presentation to the room of 892 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: what you're getting in an Eric Weddle. Yeah, I mean, 893 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: I think that's important because that's what we would be 894 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: asked to do. You will stand in front of the 895 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 1: general manager and very quickly he will ask you do 896 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: you like this flavor? How will he help us? Um? 897 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: Where do you value him? Matt and I think they 898 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't do that. They should go through the process and 899 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,440 Speaker 1: kind of feel the same pressure the scouts field when 900 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,919 Speaker 1: they have to present in front of the big wigs. Yeah, 901 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: we're still going to pick the winner based off of 902 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: what is actually written in the final report on Eric Weddle. 903 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: But I think that's a fun exercise to go through 904 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: with these guys are Juna. Can we do that? Can 905 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,440 Speaker 1: we get that done? We're gonna talk to the powers 906 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 1: that be, but we're gonna we're gonna try and get 907 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: it done nice.
